On a team with so few defensemen prospects in their pipeline, Villeneuve is arguably their second best hope of being an NHLer. This year, he will have a chance to step up into a second pair role on the Marlies and get even closer to the NHL as a real possibility.

You spot for chatting with other smart, attractive, and gosh darn likeable Maple Leafs fans.

Ryan Tverberg has undergone a huge rise in status as a prospect since he was drafted, and his ranking history continues to reflect this improvement. As he enters his first full professional season, will that improvement be enough to make him a future contributor at the NHL level?

It's a hard time. It's ok.

Rodion Ruslanovich Amirov was born on October 2, 2001. He was 21 years old.

Semyon Der-Arguchintsev makes our list within the top-20, but is the first player trending away from the Leafs than towards it.

As expected, the Maple Leafs have added some insurance in net.

Lisowsky and Saskatoon put up the points for an eye-catching season in the WHL. What are his next steps as a leader on his team and looking ahead towards pro hockey?

Overlooked in multiple drafts prior, he was a good use of a late-round pick, but the difference in early career between him and Woll is marked. Woll, part of the UNTDP and a member of Team USA since the U17 team in 2015, was on everyone's radar as a prospect, and Hildeby never was.

New North American sports franchises list has come out. The Toronto Raptors are now valued to be $1.2 billion
